Do you have a few mintues to spare? I suggest you use them to download and try out the new System Process Visualizer tool from HP Operations Center. I promise it will be the best use of your time today! System Process visualizer (SysPV, in short) is a real-time visualization tool which offers a quick way for you to identify the worst offenders on your system - your biggest CPU and memory consumers in a single view. If you are familiar with the UNIX top command, this tool offers another view mimicking top. The difference is that this is via your browser a so you can monitor networked systems too - not just your PC.

It is a free download - get it, unzip/untargz it and run it - just follow the steps in the readme.

NOTE: There are other free tools also listed in the same page like vPV Free, SiteScope Free, Health Playback for Virtual Systems (for VMware vCenter) and Big Data Performance Visualization (for hadoop and Vertica setups) - feel free to try these out too.

If you are a customer with a support contract, then we would like to invite you to join us in the SiteScope Support Customer Forum on October 2nd where HP product Experts will be online for 24 hours to answer questions regarding HP SiteScope!

SHR supports grouping dimensions and CIs. SHR Reports are parameterized by groups. This allows SHR users to filter reports based on groups. RtSM Views and OM NodeGroups form default groups available to SHR users. In addition to RtSM Views and OM NodeGroups, SHR supports creation of Custom Groups based on dimension/CI attributes.

SHR Groups in conjunction with BusinessObjects(BObj) Restrictions provide a means to achieve report level multi-tenancy. SHR administrators may define users (or user groups) in BObj and associate these users to specific SHR Groups. Once this association is created, users are restricted to their SHR Groups.
